EarlySaturday STUK and SRab hit the Carl Henn Millennium TrailAt 6 amon
the dot - nobody's gonna bail!STUK
informs SRab that she's going rogue...It's
okay - that's ALWAYS in vogue!So 22 for
STUK and 32 for SRab -It was awfully early - but there was no time to blab.

Started
off on what they thought was the correct 10 mile path-But
after a tour of Rockville's Town Center they had to laugh!In the
end did about 4 miles extra -Good
view of the business district? You betcha!Just
meant SRab only had an out and back with 2 full loops...Managed
to get lost again by herself - oops!Rock
star STUK finished up her 22 miles and stayed for some cheering!SRab
sent her on her way - the skies were about to open up they were fearing!!Open
up they did and for the last bit SRab was soaked!The
chafing she experienced was really no joke! In the
end SRab got way over 7 hours on her feet-Although
very stiff, Bikram the next day was a treat!

The
number of running miles would certainly have a ceiling.8 was
the plan but ended up with more -About
9.39 would be the final score!Met up
with WuDoc to run near her new place.Some
hilly sidewalks SRab would have to embrace!Eventually they hit a bit of a trail;And
right by the zoo they would sail!Then SRab had fun with STUK and EBun singing Waterloo -

FABBA Fun!

Why
FABBA has to sing it in Swedish we have no clue! FABBA
was fun and it gave us a Rabbit idea...Maybe
a theme party in the future is near?Saturday
EBun had a little pre-race brickGot it
done early - that was slick!Not
much else to do ‘cept an organization projectTill
it was time for FABBA - what did you expect?!Flashdance?
I don't think so –that would be a scream!But
these girls couldn't wait for Dancing Queen! Didn't
get much sleep because she was up before the crack…But
got on the road timely and the schedule was on trackGeneralSmallwood State Park was the place Because
EBun was entered in the Sprint Tri race The
swim wasn't wetsuit legal but that was okAs EBun
hadn't brought hers anyway!So the
swim was ok; EBun got it doneThen
on to the bike - and it was kind of funA
little hard sometimes with little climbs in placesBut
overall managed to hold a decent cadence.Finally
-- she was on to the run…Which
needs serious work - son of a gun!!When
it was a finished EBun got a surprise.Third
on the podium? That's no lie!

EBun's Podium Surprise!

Since this was EBun's third Setup Events race this summer She got a bonus
pair of socks - definitely not a bummer!And SRab made it to Bikram and swam more than
one lap -Then they both followed peeps doing IMMT - no time for a nap!

Over the weekend EBun was actually quite lazy...A super bad headache made things a bit hazy.Needless to say her workouts didn't amount to much;She got a Saturday run in but the rest? No such luck!Instead of a ride on Sunday EBun did TRX insteadAnd puttered around at home and paint she did spread!

EBun's Paint Samples!

33.43 miles on foot??? Say it isn't so!But for SRab it was the way to go!At Prince William Park the day began dark and quiet...Singing out loud to her music - what a riot!A couple of loops up to the entrance and back -For long winding hills she did not lack!After one time around on the scenic loopShe waited a bit for her support group.Did another out and back as they were stuck in traffic -Kept herself busy - she wasn't frantic!WuDoc arrived to run and Tim to bike.It was getting warm - a little heart rate spike!Finished up the mileage with her little crew -Put some ice on her head was all that's left to do!Went home to walk her doggie to make the total 34;Turned off her Garmin then so she's sure she did even more!Went out that evening dressed as the "Where's the Beef?" lady:

"Where's the Beef?" -- SRab, STILL on her feet!!

More time on her feet? That's just crazy!Sunday was definitely a day of rest.Walking the dog and eating doughnuts was her only quest!

EBun slogged through a 5 mile run but didn't tumble...She
tripped just once - what a bumble!She
started kinda late - 9:00 was the timeFor
the 2nd of August, the weather was mighty fine!Later
a retirement BBQ for some old work friends.Sometimes
the fun just never ends!

On A lazySaturdaySRab went for a brisk trail walk with her doggie...It
helped her to avoid feeling too groggy!Later
she took a little drive up to GermantownTo a
hotel near the "Riley's Rumble" she was bound!STUK
joined her and all they really had time for was some ZzzzsSince
the alarm was set for4:30 if
you please!

Sunday morning was EBun's bike ride, zone 2 easyA
familiar course made things totally breezy!Got in
75 minutes, not too bad...But
when it was over EBun was glad!

SRab and STUK weren't just there on a lark-The
day began with a little run in the dark!SRab
ran the 4 miles to the race start and a little bit more-Just
about 7 miles total did not feel like a chore!Time
to get the race bib and don the bunny ears -

N2, SRab, and STUK - Ready to "Rumble"

The
gun went off with lots of cheers!

At the
beginning the terrain was pretty tame -But
would all those hills put them to shame?Certainly
not! Because hills are our friend!STUK
and SRab handled them fine to the very end!The
beautiful scenery and great volunteers made the race grand -Especially
when you had a yummy electrolyte Popsicle in your hand-They
gave them out at mile 8.5...So
many flavors - that ain't no jive!For an
August training race Riley's Rumble was heaven sent;Love
that the bib actually said "low key event!"Once
crossing the finish line STUK and SRab weren't quite finished -Anyone
want to run more? Any interest?There were no
takers, so we went on our merry way...STUK
did 2 more, SRab did 8 - what can you say?Except
this was training run for Can Lakes -And we
are determined to do whatever it takes!
